Our “Why”
For as long as mining has existed in the Greater Sudbury basin, local First Nations have seen their traditional lands mined with little to no benefit nor oversight.
Aki-eh Dibinwewziwin Limited Partnership (ADLP) is a major step for AA and WFN on the path to true sovereignty and independence. Generations to come will benefit from the high-value careers and lucrative business opportunities this venture will create.
Our name—Aki-eh Dibinwewziwin—was given jointly by the elders and language keepers and means “to be owned by the earth”. With that great responsibility entrenched in our reason-for-being, the partnership promotes sustainable mining practices while respecting Indigenous rights and traditions.
Given society’s growing demand for minerals, we believe there is no better time for a partnership like this to make a real difference for Indigenous communities.
